Rules:

Only one drop bag is allowed at the checkpoint area, it will be in a pub, however we cannot guarantee it staying dry if we have to move it, so please wrap essentials in plastic.

You must have a phone, powerful headtorch, spare batteries, waterproof clothing, winter clothing and a space blanket. You must wear some Hi-Viz, especially at night. Please also bring some of your own personal food as we will only be providing snack type food. Cake, crisps, hot drinks, soup, biscuits, sandwiches etc. We will however provide a breakfast, lunch and dinner of basic meals (beans, soups, porridge). We will have water, but you must provide your own drinking container.

***Each runner must use their fob in timing boxes where indicated. Failure to do so will just mean you will run extra miles***

Runners deviating from the route or littering will be instantly disqualified.

Runners who have stopped for a time longer than 30 mins will be retired.

There are no internal cuts, but we will retire runners who will obviously not make the 48 hour deadline.
